Proceedings of the 4th Annual International Conference on Material Engineering and Application (ICMEA 2017)

The 4th Annual International Conference on Material Engineering and Application (ICMEA 2017) is an annual scientific international conference which concentrates on Material Engineering and Application for experts and scholars in the corresponding fields. ICMEA 2017 will be held in Wuhan, China, on December 15th-17th, 2017. The conference aims to provide a platform for experts, professionals, researchers and students in the areas to share the updated information and stimulate the communication with each other.

Materials engineering is a kind of engineering field which mainly researches, develops, produces and applies Metal materials, inorganic non-metallic materials, polymer materials and composite materials. Material is used for making useful items. With the development of the society and science and technology, people not only need various new materials with some better functions, including high strength, good ductility, heat resistance, abrasion resistance, corrosion resistance, but also need all kinds of new materials owning a series of special functions, such as Light, electricity, magnetism, sound, heat, or want ones with above composite effect. Moreover, people have an increasing requirement to the coordination of materials and environmental materials. What will become the key points of materials production and technology innovation is the endeavor to research and settle problems in quality and engineering of the traditional materials, and continuously explore the potential of them.

Wuhan has an old history and rich cultural traditions. It began to prosper as a commercial town about two thousand years ago, when it was called Yingwuzhou (Parrot beach). From the first century to the beginning of the third century, the towns of Hanyang and Wuchang began to take shape. During the Song Dynasty (960-1279), the area became one of the most prosperous commercial centers along the Yangtze River. By the end of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), Hankou had become one of the four most famous cities in China. Today, Wuhan is the political, economic, and cultural center of Central China. It boasts of one of China's leading iron and steel complexes -- the Wuhan Iron and Steel Corporation. Wuhan is also a city with a strong revolutionary tradition.
